After being taken off at half-time of Al Ahly’s Caf Champions League win on Friday night, Percy Tau has been forced out of the Bafana Bafana squad for the upcoming friendlies against Guinea and world champions France.
The South African forward suffered a knee injury according to the club which is why he was substituted in the 3-1 win over Al-Merrikh and has subsequently been replaced by Royal Am striker Victor Letsoalo.
“Broos revealed that injury had forced Bafana Bafana vice-captain Percy Tau to withdraw from the squad to face Guinea and Les Bleus, and Royal AM’s Victor Letsoalo has been called in to take his place,” it was confimed on the SAFA website.
It will undoubtedly come as a blow to Broos who is looking to test his side against stronger opposition in Guinea and world champions France.
